As the global population grows, so does the need for critical, life-sustaining systems and infrastructure. Our Health & Resilience investments catalyze innovations that strengthen and connect communities while bolstering resilience, protecting natural resources, improving health outcomes, and advancing economic opportunity. Our Theory of Change illustrates how our investments in climate adaptation technologies and infrastructure increase access to essential services and build more resilient social, economic, and environmental systems.
We invest across five sectors where Autodesk’s expertise in architecture, engineering, construction, and design and manufacturing can accelerate scale and growth.
Ensure sustainable, reliable access to healthy and affordable food globally.
Power business, healthcare, and life-sustaining infrastructure with clean energy.
Ensure access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) for improved quality of life.
Accelerate the development of affordable housing and reliable infrastructure.
Support catalytic funding to accelerate life-improving innovations.
